Back down to earth with a bang.
Rovers had a chance to take the lead with a shot from the edge of the box by Curran, parried back to Sordell by their keeper, but Marvin made no contact. A few minutes later, the ref who was poor gave a sequence of dodgy free-kicks in Leeds favour and they took the lead. McLaren conceded a penalty, clinically converted. Tranmere got themselves back into the game with a shot from the edge of the area by Welsh, but then a combination of McLaren giving away the ball in a dangerous area and Goodi slipping, led to Leeds 3rd. Good spell at the end of the half and with Bas coming on at the start of the 2nd, there seemed to be a good claim for a penalty for handball turned down. Instead a defensive howler from Broomes resulted in Beckford lobbing Luke for their fourth.
Leeds looked a good side, but we both gifted them goals and didn't really test their defence. Too many players were off form tonight only Zoum, Welsh, ITM and Curran of the starters were near to their norm. Bas and Mahon made a difference when they came on. In particular as one wag said Chris McCready must be really sh*t if Broomes is better than him.
Oldham won and I can't see us getting anything at Bristol Rovers, so probably back in the drop zone again this weekend. #-o
